The Voice of Country Music Tells the Truth About Why He Almost Quit | Casey Clarke

Casey Clarke will tell you his voice wasn't good enough. He'll say it before you get the chance to ask.
He left broadcast school without a diploma. Took a job in a town called Westlock, Alberta. Figured getting paid to learn beat paying someone to teach him.
Thirty years later — one of 3 Canadians to win the CMA Broadcaster of the Year.
In this episode, Matt sits down with Casey to go through all of it. The small-town Alberta start. Overnight shifts on satellite radio. Sixteen years at CMT. Coming home to Kelowna. And the part Casey doesn't lead with: the anger he carried through his twenties. The years where the most upbeat voice on the radio wasn't doing so well privately.
He talks about what cracked it. A sidewalk in Toronto. His wife stopped to talk to a stranger for ten minutes — warm, easy, like they'd known each other for years. Casey asked who she was. His wife had no idea.
That stayed with him.
Each month, August After Dark supports a family close to Matt's heart. This month: the Relvas family — two years at Ronald McDonald House
